Are these autos tiny for day 17?

Oh yay I’m trust level 2 now.

So coming back after some time, can i suggest something.

As something to get some experience with try a saturation test with your pots and soil you’ll get to see how much water something holds and for how long.

What i do is take a filled pot minus any plant and water that media&pot till im getting quite a bit of run off but im collecting that runoff into a catch tray or bowl and i allow that pot to sit in that standing water for a good 20-30min after this watering, coming back you dump out and excess water and then re sit to drain a couple mins, that should give you a good estimate on feel of a saturated media, say though if you notice you have no more water in your tray say when you came back then you know that media pulled that water in and needs more.

Alot of mediums are hydrophobic at first and only once then become wet due they hold alot more water.

Now once that pot has been saturated you can throw it in your tent and use it as a test to see how long it takes for say that pot to get to a half way weight between a dry container vs your saturated weight.

Some medias that could be a day or less like say perlite, others like really heavy and high fine particle soils or peat mixes that could be a week or more.

I do this typically whenever i switch medias or want to know as its just data points that helps with roughing in whats needed.

Hey all and I just got done reading this @Kasper0909 and I am currently on my first grow of autos and I’m on day 8 since breaking ground and I have been struggling with it until about 3 days ago and it’s Skywalker from Mephisto

and the other photo is from 4/20 and I am just glad to see that there’s another person who is growing up autos and seeing the way that they can act …LoL I just wanted to let you know that I think ur having a great grow @Kasper0909 and I’m sending good growing vibes The Doc …but it’s time to get her to a 3 gallon pot and I’m growing in my Phototron so it’s not yhe best lights but limited space and I’ve had a few successful photo fems grows but autos are a different beast I’m intrigued…

I think that those Blueberrys are great and I have one growing next to the Skywalker but it’s going to be moving outside and I like :+1:t2: the setup I’m just getting ready to use my new tent…and I am going to be tagging along for the duration of this trip The Doc

the 4 autos are doing pretty good. Not really sure if the pollen took but it looks like some of the hairs are curled up. I may hit them again

Also you like the spotted blackberry zkittles in the middle? It’s spotted from head to toe. But grows like crazy. I have added no nutrients other than some micros. I was told maybe too much nitrogen in the soil may be causing that.
